    Tonight's battle was unprecedented for both the Ming army and Rouran. Tens of thousands of people from both sides were crowded on the narrow mountain road, blocking each other, completely losing the mobility of the cavalry, but they all still rode.  Horse.  The first two rows were fighting hand-to-hand cavalry. They were holding shields in one hand and spears in the other. You shot and I shot. The battle was inextricable. The competition was perseverance and strength. The archers in the back were shooting arrows. Suddenly, arrows were flying in the sky.  Arrows flew back and forth, and soldiers on both sides continued to be hit by arrows and fell from their horses, but overall the casualties of the Rouran people were far greater than those of the Ming army.  The conditions of the Rouran people are difficult. Most of them do not wear armor and cannot use shields, because the range of arrows in the mountain road is only a hundred steps. Holding up the shield means that they cannot fight back. The final result is that they are suppressed by the opponent and fall.  To the point of being beaten without being able to fight back, so I can only use my body to withstand the rain of arrows!  This makes the Rouran people hit by arrows, and they will either be injured or die. However, although the Ming army does not support shields, it has the protection of armor. With or without armor, the effect is completely different, and it can minimize the damage caused by arrows to itself.  .  But Rouran has an advantage. He attacks from north to south. He has a favorable wind. The range of his arrows is slightly farther than that of the Ming army. There are relatively more people who can shoot at the same time. However, the Ming army has a greater advantage.  Occupying the stone fort, the role of the stone fort is fully exerted at this time. The Ming army can release crossbows from a high position. The power of the crossbows is obviously not comparable to that of bows and arrows. A "bobo" of sowing is also a "bobo" of harvesting the Rouran people.  life.  But the Rouran people came and went, and the passage was densely packed with people, and the war seemed to be endless.  At the foot of Pingcheng, six hundred miles away, there were also shouts of killing. The prairie cavalry violently attacked the Ming army camp. Unlike the battle at the pass of Dongmugan Mountain, here everyone died as many as they came.  There are no lights in the Ming army camp. Although they can't see the battle ahead clearly, all the soldiers have left and never come back. Chief Shen Modan of the Shiwei Shenmo tribe is extremely worried!  Shiwei came from Xianbei and was a descendant of Donghu.  The language is the same as that of Kumoxi and Khitan. There are more than 50 tribes in total distributed in the Greater Khingan Mountains area west of Nanshui (now Nenjiang River). Among them, the Shenmo tribe and the Mengwu tribe are relatively powerful. There are more than ten tribes in Shiwei that are influenced by Rouran.  Under coercion, they each sent more than a thousand troops to fight against the Ming army.  Shen Modan couldn't bear it anymore and turned around and said: "Khan. Something is not right. The soldiers have gone and never come back. Why don't we withdraw our troops and come back first and then make a plan." "Hey~~" Chi Luohou said.  Waving his hand: "Perhaps the stronghold will be broken at this moment. Wouldn't it be a waste of all previous efforts to withdraw the troops?" Mengwu Gutai, the chieftain of the Mongolian tribe, was wrapped in an animal skin and looked like a strong elephant-headed man-bear.  He also had a very fiery personality. He then scolded Luohou and snorted coldly: "They are not your own warriors, so of course you don't feel bad. This attack on the Ming army all came from our Shiwei tribes, Khitan, Kumo  Xi. Wuhuan and other clans, since you are worried about losing your success, why don't you send your people up? " "Isn't this obvious? You want to kill us to weaken me?  Wait!" A strange voice came from somewhere.  Another rough voice said: "To be honest, we have nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty. Although the Ming Dynasty is powerful, as long as we stay honest and don't cause trouble, it is expected that he will not go too far. The reason why we are here is,  It was because King Ming had insulted the Khan and he was so angry that he came to help the Khan to seek revenge. However, he never expected that he would die when he came. It was really heart-breaking!" The faces of the twenty or so clan chiefs nearby all showed up.  Chi Luohou's expression changed as well.  But he had no words to reply, so he had to salute Yujiulu Shelun: "Khan clearly shows that I can guarantee that I will never have such intention when I scold Luohou!" Yujiulu Shelun was filled with murderous intent and hesitant.  Wei Feng's hands weakened the grassland tribes. On the other hand, tens of thousands of people have died since the beginning of the war. Although these people are cannon fodder, cannon fodder must be used on the edge of the knife. It is always a pity to die in vain. As for the  He didn't care about the resentment of his tribe at all. What tribe didn't hate Rouran for what he had done in the past few years?  But aren¡¯t they all still called?  This shows that on the grassland, relying on fists and strength, benevolence, justice and morality will not work!  Yujiulu Shelun couldn't help but look at Sima Xiuzhi. Sima Xiuzhi pondered for a moment and then said: "It's okay to withdraw the troops for the time being. After all, the main purpose is to win over the various tribes at present, so as to prevent them from being deceived by King Ming and defecting to King Ming!" "That's right!  "Liu Jingxuan took over and said: "The one named Wei is the best at persuading surrender in front of the battle. Although these small tribes can't change the world, it's better for the Khan to be careful!" "Hmm~~" Yu Jiulu Shelun nodded and said: "Retreat the troops.  " "Woooooo~~" The horn sounded, and the soldiers in front retreated like a tide. Although the hearts of the more than 20 clan chiefs were bleeding, they also breathed a sigh of relief, but more of them were still worried.  This time I retreated. If I push myself to take the lead next time, I shouldWhat?  In front of Yu Jiulu Shelun, no one dared to discuss it, but it did not prevent them from communicating with each other through their eyes.  At the same time, this attack also gave them a mysterious and frightening impression of the Ming army. No matter how ferocious their offensive was, the overwhelming cavalry made them tremble even when they saw it, but the Ming army remained motionless.  , like a monster opening its mouth, waiting for its warriors to crawl inside!  The Ming Dynasty was able to almost unify China in less than ten years, obviously not without reason, especially when the Wei people encountered the Ming army, they never won. The once powerful Wei Kingdom disappeared from the north, and the Wei Kingdom was Rouran.  Nemesis, Rouran fought against the Wei State and was defeated repeatedly. He was not Rouran's opponent. It was like a food chain. The Ming State was at the top, and he was the lowest fish and shrimp in the food chain. The small fish and shrimp actually ate  Are you brave enough to attack the Ming army?  After making eye contact, many people already had the intention to surrender on the spot. The key is that they have no enmity with the Ming army. Instead of surrendering to Rouran, it is better to surrender to the Ming army. On the prairie, it is natural for the weak to surrender to the strong. Surrender to the Ming army  The country, at worst, will not be worse than the current situation. If the Ming army conquers and conquers violently, it will be easy to hide in the mountains and old forests!  However, due to Rouran¡¯s power, no one has dared to take the lead yet.  ¡­ Unconsciously, it has been two days since the troops were withdrawn. During these two days, no matter how Rouran called for war, the Ming army was always in high ditches and deep fortresses, unable to hold on, leaving Yujiulu Shelun at a loss.  Standing outside the camp, Yujiulu Shelun looked at the Ming army camp and Pingcheng, which was thirty miles away. He suddenly felt more and more irritable. He couldn't help but turned around and said: "You two are instigating me to attack the Ming Dynasty.  Now that it is difficult to make progress, what should we do next? " Yu Jiulu Shelun's face was very ugly. Liu Jingxuan and Sima Tizhi ??suddenly felt cold. They had already felt the Khan's dissatisfaction with them, but these two people  They are not talented people at all. How can they come up with ideas if they are asked to do so?  They defected to Yujiulu Shelun, just to bully the Rouran people for their low intelligence, and to use Rouran's hands to counterattack the Ming Dynasty. Once they were frustrated, they would be helpless!  "It's just that there is no way but to say it clearly, otherwise it will anger Yujiulu Shelun and it is possible that he will be cooked and eaten on the spot!"  "Ahem~~" Sima Xiuzhi coughed twice, and just as he was about to say a few perfunctory words, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves in the distance, which attracted everyone's attention!  A scout flew off his horse and ran all the way, shouting breathlessly: "Khan, Sheng Le is reporting urgently. The Ming army raided the Dongmugan Mountain pass two days ago and occupied the stone fort on the road!" "What?" Yu Jiulu  Shelun was shocked!  Not only him, but everyone's vision suddenly went dark. The pass of Dongmugan Mountain is equivalent to Rouran's lifeline. Being strangled at the pass means that the 200,000-strong army will most likely not be able to return to Mobei!  It took a long time before Yujiulu Shelun came back to his senses and roared: "What's going on? I have 30,000 troops stationed at the mountain pass. I'm just worried about the Ming army attacking. How could we lose?" The scout stammered: "But  Khan, the Ming army occupied the stone castle for some reason, but the garrison in the valley was already attacking. Sheng Le also sent 30,000 troops, and it was expected that it would not take long to recapture it. " Chi Luohou suddenly asked: "  "How many people are there in the Ming army?" "Um" the scout asked uncertainly, "There must be tens of thousands of people, right?" Everyone is thinking that one man can guard the stone castle, and there are ten thousand men who can't open it.  Even if the people are guarded, even a hundred thousand troops may not be able to capture it. Although the entire mountain road extends in all directions and is dozens of miles long, the Ming army only occupied the stone castle, but this is enough to block the communication between the north and south of Yinshan Mountain!  Yu Jiulu Shelun was not only annoyed, but also panicked. He glared at Liu Jingxuan and Sima Xiuzhi and said angrily: "It's you two who instigated me to fight with the Ming Dynasty. It's better now. Let's move forward."  No, the way back is cut off, come up with an idea quickly, otherwise, I will cook you!" Some of the Rouran generals around him even grasped the handles of their swords, and their murderous intentions were undisguised. If it weren't for these two people's cups,  Confused, in such a cold weather, it is better to hug a woman and have sex in a warm tent, but at this time, it is very likely that her life will have to be taken care of!  Sima Xiuzhi hurriedly said: "Khan, the loss of the stone fort is not what we want. Could it be that Xiuzhi and Wanshou are not in a hurry? Now we can only start from two aspects. One is to block the news, especially from the grassland ministries. We must not  Let them know that the stone fort has been lost, otherwise there may be chaos. On the other hand, they will secretly send reinforcements to recapture the stone fort at any cost." Yujiulu Shelun's eyes flashed with fierceness, and he said coldly:  "Okay! Just as you two said, I believe it again. If you can't take back the stone castle, you will have to pay with your life!" After saying that, he turned around and called: "Come here, take these two down and keep a close eye on them!"    "Follow your orders!" Several Rouran soldiers surrounded Liu Jingxuan and Sima Xiuzhi, and the two men had no choice but to be escorted deep into the camp.  Yujiulu Shelun said again: "No one is allowed to tell outsiders about today's events. Chi Luohou, you lead thirty thousand troops and leave quietly at night, so that others will notice!" All the generals headed by Chi Luohou saluted and accepted the order.  .
